Episode 56: Karen James
I had such a fantastic time speaking with Karen and getting to know more about her life. We have become friends and supporters of each other in our pursuit to bring yoga/movement to people in ways that are available to those who might not be young and super mobile. It’s a long chat, but listen through to the end, there are some fantastic insights Karen has on being raised in an army family in the UK and being a black woman in the yoga/wellness arena.

Thank you for listening! Have a wonderful weekend!

Episode 55: Tarot Lori
I found Lori through another account I follow in Instagram, who will be on the pod this month too. I loved her style, her sense of humor, her direct manner and sense of humor.

Thank you for joining us for all of these amazing conversations.

It was an inspiring conversation about moving, fear, enjoyment and the change in where and how we move as we continue to travel the pandemic. Laurel’s story of how she went from an actor to movement teacher is an interesting one.

Episode 47: Clarissa Rankin
Episode 46: Trina Altman
This was such a treat to sit down and speak with Trina. She has helped me tremendously on my own path of exploration of movement. I did in fact get to go take her workshops in early March at https://www.yogainthecenter.com right before the world shut down. It was a treat and I enjoyed just being a student for the entire time. You can go look for her classes and any other upcoming workshops that may be coming in your area on her website: https://trinaaltman.com . If you want to find her on Instagram you can find her: https://www.instagram.com/trinaaltman
While we recorded this last July and a few things have changed since then, all of her wealth of information is there and she has finished the writing portion of her book. Look for it coming soon.
Thank you for joining me on this journey to share women’s stories. Trina’s story shows just how you can start in one spot and move on your journey to an entirely different space.

Episode 45: Morgan & Shawna
Morgan started yoga in her basement after 10 years of competitive swimming. Admitting that she hated yoga at first, she eventually found her way from her basement to a large following, creating her own E-book series leading to videos on her app. There has been a lot of life between that basement and today and she shares that journey.
Shawna, while a new introduction for me and admittedly less involved in social media, drew me into her own story and path. The both of them were on different trajectories that eventually lead them to each other. I appreciate their honesty, their real wish to share and this was one of those conversations that I did not want to end, I could have talked with them all day.
Enjoy and please share.
Sherry
Episode 44: Kathryn Budig
Joining me is Kathryn Budig, back for another great conversation. One of things that I have found is that all the ladies I have contacted have time to chat right now. Not only did we talk about the situation in the world, we talked about books, her online book club and her new novel that she finished at the end of 2019. I hope you enjoy our conversation as much as we enjoyed it.

Episode 43: Sigi Kolbe
I am so happy to welcome Sigi to the podcast this week. We discovered that I have probably been following her since she first started doing the same yoga challenges that I did. It was a different time back then. Not only is she a yoga teacher, she’s photographer and very talented photoshop artist as well. Her photos in the dunes are so gorgeous and some times her dogs and cat Romeo join her. She is a mother of two and they built her studio right on their property.
We also spoke about teaching online as the world is in quarantine and the implications of that in a country where so many live below the poverty line before the pandemic. She is as lovely as she is creative and her accent is enchanting.
Enjoy.

Episode 39: Kindra Hall
Kindra and I had so much fun talking about stories together. She shared how telling stories became such a big part of her life. She wanted to venture out to create her own company and not knowing what that might look like, she explained how she got her first speaking engagement and how she decided that would be what she would build her business around. After all of her speaking opportunities, she wanted to be able to share her knowledge of the power of stories with a wider audience and that led her to write her book, Stories that Stick. Her book releases in September!
You can find her on Instagram: @kindrahall Her website: https://www.storiesthatstick.com/
Thank you for listening and have a wonderful weekend.

Episode 37: Mindy Jaffar part 2
This is part 2 of my conversation with Mindy. She shares all of the story around her mother’s murder in 2001 and the book she is writing. I loved hearing her motivation and dreams for what the book might help say about women as victims of violence.

Episode 36: Mindy Jaffar
Mindy joins me for another long conversation that will be available in two parts. Part 1 is all about her career in the military for 20 years, a surprise baby later in life and her transition back to civilian life. Mindy is a blogger, columnist and writer. Part 2 is all about her writing a book about the murder of her mother by a serial killer. Part 2 will be live on Wednesday, so come back to hear all about her research and work to write about the murders many years after the fact.

Episode 34: Anjua Maximo
Anjua Maximo is a force, she’s a master Life Coach, a speaker and co-founder of GrooveRyde. This woman is a mover and shaker, has some great business vision and brings a great attitude about life to round out the mix. We had such a great time chatting together that we just kept chatting and chatting. This was a long episode for just one episode, so I have divided into to two, a longer one with a shorter one that will go live next Wednesday. So please look for that mini episode next week.

Episode 32: Leigh Coates
This was quite an interview! It took some work to get it scheduled but I never gave up because I so wanted to have this conversation and share her amazing story. She took flying lessons at 15, quite flying to become a pro snowboarder, went back to flying after an injury and went from flying small planes to helicopters and also teaching others to fly. She now owns her own helicopter business in Alaska and takes the winters to travel the US and practice yoga along the way. The big thing now is that she is the first female jet pack pilot. Her story is so inspiring and I hope that you enjoy it as much as we did having the conversation. As always, thank you for listening!
